Ran into a paper describing analysis of leather on a Chinese scabbard: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/...2511003763

Summary: Alum-tanned leather over wood core. 6th century BC, for a bronze sword.


6th BC? Spring and Autumn Period? The people in some kingdoms had a strong love of being buried with sword in that period……

however, Han dynasty sword scabbards could be different.
i am more inclined that, linen cover wood core and paint lacquer, polish.
